The Ridgefield Gazook

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ridgefield Gazook was a 4-page newsletter written and illustrated by the artist Man Ray. It only appeared for a single issue, (numbered 0), dated 31 March 1915.[1] Ray lived in an artists colony in Ridgefield, New Jersey.[2][3]

The only copy has been lost.[4][5] Ray's biographer Arturo Schwarz described the Ridgefield Gazook as "America's first proto-Dada periodical".[5]
